  • Efficacy of Shenlingcao Oral Liquid for Asymptomatic HIV-infected People: A Before-and-after Self-control Study

    ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Shenlingcao oral liquid on HIV-RNA load, CD4+ T cells of HIV carriers. MethodsWe included asymptomatic HIV-infection people from February to April 2012, gave them Shenlingcao oral liquid for oral intake (1 bottle/d, 200 mL/bottle) during 6 months, and observed the changes of HIV-RNA load and CD4+ T cell at different time points (before intake, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months). ResultsA total of 25 cases were included. The results showed that a tendency existed that CD4+ T cells counts gradually increased along with time; HIV-RNA load did not change regularly; and the total effective rate was steady; and the cases in steady status tended to increase. ConclusionShenlingcao oral liquid is beneficial to the improvement of the immunity of asymptomatic HIV-infected people. Because of limited sample size and study design, the above conclusion should be verified by further conducting large-scale high quality randomized controlled trials.
